Urology
Urology specializes in diagnosing and treating conditions related to the urinary tract and male reproductive system, including kidney stones, urinary infections, prostate issues.
Urology is the medical-surgical specialty focused on urinary tract and male reproductive health, treating conditions like kidney stones, UTIs, prostate enlargement (BPH), cancers (bladder/prostate), and infertility. Diagnostic tools include cystoscopy, ultrasound, and urodynamic tests. Common procedures are laser lithotripsy (stone removal), TURP (prostate surgery), vasectomies, and robotic-assisted surgeries. Sub-specialties include pediatric urology, uro-oncology, and female urology (incontinence). Urologists also manage erectile dysfunction and kidney transplant care. With minimally invasive techniques, they aim to restore function and quality of life. Preventive care, like PSA screening, is key for early detection of urologic cancers.
